Alison Fonseca, Policy and Legislative Counsel for the Rhode Island Attorney General, testified before the Special Legislative Commission to Study the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act last Thursday. At issue were complaints from what Fonseca called “a few noisy, negligent, and noncompliant landlords who are willing to risk the health and safety of our children rather than follow some common sense health and safety laws.”

The Rhode Island Rental Registry serves as “a vital source of information about rental properties and was developed to meet the requirements of the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (R.I. Gen. Laws § 34-18-58). Landlords must submit the required information in the registry at rentalregistry.ri.gov no later than October 1, 2024.”
